New Enhancements and Programmes | XCL World Academy (Singapore)

XCL World Academy has introduced the Offsite Learning Program (OSLP) which is designed to ensure that students who are temporarily unable to attend classes in-person are able to experience the same learning opportunities as they would if they were on campus. It enables students to join ‘live’ classes, interact with teaching staff and other students, and access on-demand content from wherever they are in the world until they can get to campus.

If you are interested to find out more about our Offsite Student Learning Programme, please do not hesitate to reach out to our friendly admissions team. They will also be happy to share tips on how parents and students can make the most out of online/ distance learning during these challenging times.

Visiting Authors Programme

Our school will be host to the XCL Visiting Author’s Programme. We are delighted to have Tom Wright, a Pulitzer Prize finalist and New York Times best-selling author as our first Visiting Author. The Programme offers opportunities for learning development and career exploration for our students, parents and community.

New Sports Facilities

Subject to approval from authorities, new tennis courts, running track, baseball and cricket batting nets will be introduced over the next academic year, allowing our budding athletes to enjoy a wider offering of sports activities.

Secondary Years Programme Enhancements

Separated streams for IGCSE and MYP will be introduced, and subject offerings in MYP and IGCSE will be expanded over time to include business, physics, chemistry, biology and the arts. Giving parents and students flexible options to select learning tracks while enjoying a wide base of academic course offerings.

New Dedicated High School Block

We are planning to build a dedicated and purpose-built new High School Block with age-level appropriate specialist classrooms. This block will include a large and dedicated IB DP student common area and highly unique specialist areas, including university and careers counselling centre, science labs, an e-sports arena, computer coding labs and next-generation technology-equipped classrooms to accommodate hybrid learning models. Additionally, there will be general enhancements throughout the campus over the coming 24 months. This will create the ideal environment for our students to thrive.

New MYP eAssessments

The MYP eAssessment will be introduced to allow students in the middle years to demonstrate key skills and be awarded the IB MYP Certificate. The MYP eAssessment is purposefully designed to reflect the flexible curriculum framework in the MYP. It serves as an equivalent alternative to other types of examinations for Grade 10 students, pushes students well beyond the rote memorisation of subject-specific content, and lays a solid foundation for the rigorous IB Diploma. Improving the way we monitor our students’ educational progress helps them prepare for key milestones.

English as an Additional Language (EAL) Programme Enhancement

For students whose first language is not English, we have recently enhanced our EAL Programme to make it even more robust, comprehensive and personalised. The enhanced EAL offering ensures all children have the necessary English language skills to have full access to the curriculum and programmes available.

Nursery School Hours Enhancement

The nursery school day will be matched to the rest of the school, making life easier for parents with children. With a choice of a half-day programme (8:45 am to 1:30 pm) or a full-day programme (8:45 am to 3:30 pm), our youngest learners are provided with flexibility and many exciting learning opportunities.

Premier Educational Partnership Programme

We are expanding academic pathways, and we are finalizing partnership with top global schools for college-level credit programmes, open to both IBDP and IBCP students. This will give our students a head start in tertiary education.

New eSports Programme – a first among international schools in Singapore

We will be introducing a student-run eSports programme. This first of its kind offering will allow our students to not only explore eSports for recreation and vocation but also develop critical skills such as leadership, teamwork, and discipline. We are in advanced talks with some of the leaders in the eSports industry to help support and drive this programme.

University and Career Guidance Programme Enhancement

University & Career Guidance will be introduced, starting from Grade 8, a first in Singapore. A highly experienced counsellor has been brought in to help students start early in Grade 8 to learn more about their interests, talents, and passions and explore education and career pathways. Starting this process early ensures that our students have a long runway to explore, research, and experiment in order to confidently make fully informed decisions about their future.
